U.S. national security spokesperson John Kirby remarked, "Russia is increasingly isolated on the world stage. There's no question about that." He noted that the U.S. did not view BRICS as a threat.
The BRICS bloc, originally formed as a coalition of developing nations, has positioned itself as a counterweight to Western influence, particularly through initiatives such as the New Development Bank.
The expansion of BRICS this year, which welcomed new members like Iran and Egypt, signifies a shift in the international order, reflecting the bloc's growing importance on the global stage.
Despite the ongoing isolation due to sanctions, the BRICS summit underlines that Putin is not entirely viewed as a pariah, with over 30 countries set to participate.
